Today I have updated my antivirus software and got the message that WorldBuilder_Shw.exe contains a virus.
I reinstalled Shockwave to check whether it has already been in the installer, which it was.

CODE

Die Datei 'I:\Admin\EA Games\Command and Conquer Stunde Null\WorldBuilder_Shw.exe'
enthielt einen Virus oder unerwünschtes Programm 'TR/Dropper.Gen' [trojan].
Durchgeführte Aktion(en):
Die Datei wurde ins Quarantäneverzeichnis unter dem Namen '49a0e1d0.qua' verschoben!

Nevertheless it is a Trojan with low damage potential and it does not do any visible harm.
Shall I be afraid? Is it possible to download a clean file?

I dunno what anti virus you have but that file defently does not contain a virus of any kind.

I'm using Avira Free Antivirus.
Kaspersky Online Scanner did not find any results in this file.
Well, perhaps the software changes its mind someday.

I'm using Avira too but it doesn't detect such thing with Shockwave mod. However, Avira falsely detects 'TR/Dropper.Gen' in some other program (which I'm quite positive that they're safe). Some program has source-code that is almost similar to minor trojan and the anti-virus identifies it as this stuff.
